The infrastructure deal is largely invisible. The value behind it won't be seen for decades and there will be years of fraud and abuse it will have to overcome.

Fair enough, it was watered down in the name of compromise. The last piece of major legislation that I was enthusiastic about was the ACA, and look what that ended being after negotiation/compromise - better than nothing I guess, but, in my opinion, a lost opportunity due to poor leadership. Biden has been fairly effective in that context.
